DWIGHT — Illinois State Police and Dwight police are asking the public to help with their investigation after a mother and daughter were found shot to death.

Sixty-year-old Donna Denker and 30-year-old Kelli Denker were killed on Saturday in the central Illinois town. A 23-year-old man also was shot and is recovering.

Investigators are requesting the public provide them with any leads in the case. State police say they're assisting the Dwight Police Department. They say they're making progress and preliminary details indicate it was an isolated shooting.

Police say they were called to the home around 4:30 a.m. Saturday after receiving a call from a man who said he'd been shot.

Donna Denker was a retired mental health technician, and Kelli Denker was a manager at the Dwight Dairy Queen.
